CodePen probably won't work great in this browser. We generally only support the major desktop browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Use this one at your own risk! If you're looking to test things, try looking at Pens/Projects in Debug View.

Clever, indeed! I've gotten all of it done except 1 across and 7 across. Then I decided I would look at the code to see if the answers were there, but they're not! How do you highlight the correct words? I must be missing something obvious...

Hi, I am messaging to you with respect to your CSS crossword puzzle that I saw on codepen.io . Firstly, I have to indicate that you have made a magnificent work! Right know I try to mimic your work in order to develop my front- hand skills.
While working on your project, I confronted with an issue; do you thing it is possible to convert your project into a crossword that typing continuously in order to find a word instead of clicking on the next cell each time for writing a full word ? by help of javascript or smt else maybe ???

CodePen

We're all for progressive enhancement, but CodePen is a bit unique in that it's all about writing and showing front end code, including JavaScript. It's required to use most of the features of CodePen.
